This cache is located at the historic Gold Cup Mine.  It is considered to be the "Mother Lode" of gold and silver for the Tin Cup Minning District.
You will need 4 wheel drive or ATV to get to this location.  The cache is a cylinder covered with camo tape.  Take you time getting to the cache and enjoy the views.  You may see deer or elk along the way.  There are several active beaver ponds.  When you get to the mine, plan on spending time looking at all the buildings and  what is left of the steam engine.  More to be discovered than just the cache.  Who knows, you may even find a piece of gold or silver that was overlooked.  Have fun!

Took awhile to find this one. Coordinates are off. Look around wood. Took an item and left a paracord bracelet

We found it. Cool place thanks. The coordinates are off a little but just as a hint, it's by wood.

Spent a while trying to find cache but couldn't. Daylight was running out on us quick so we had to bail. Maybe next time.
